* As {{rt|217|Sinnoh}} is not accessible in {{v|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it is impossible to access the [[Ice Rock]] to evolve Eevee into a Glaceon in the games. The same applies for {{p|Leafeon}}, though instead of Route 217 it is the [[Eterna Forest]] with the [[Moss Rock]]. Both have to be traded from {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to be obtained. It is also inaccessible in {{v|Black and White|s}}; however, players can now evolve Leafeon and Glaceon by leveling up next to the Moss Rock in [[Pinwheel Forest]] and the Ice Rock in [[Twist Mountain]], respectively.

Biology

Physiology

Glaceon is a fox-like creature covered in light-blue fur, which can be frozen into sharp quills. It appears to be wearing a tuque on its head. Glaceon's inner ears, two spots on its back, tail end and cap-endings are all rhombus-shaped and darker blue, in contrast to the soft cyan main body color. Glaceon also has a similar shape on its back. Glaceon's feet are also a dark blue color, giving it the impression of wearing boots.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Glaceon can use any attack that Eevee knows with the addition of Ice-type attacks. As a fully evolved Pokémon, Glaceon can learn Hyper Beam and Giga Impact. In addition to that, it can also freeze its fur to make it stand up like needles - similar to its evolutionary kin, Jolteon. By controlling its body heat, it can also freeze the atmosphere around it to make a diamond-dust flurry.

Behavior

The behaviors of Glaceon are currently unknown.

Habitat

As an Eevee, it chooses to live anywhere it wants. From there, it can evolve to its surroundings. In this case, an Eevee living in snowy mountains can evolve into a Glaceon.

In the TCG

Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Trophy Information

A Fresh Snow Pokémon and a Verdant Pokémon. They are both evolutions of Eevee. Eevee can evolve into seven different Pokémon depending on what it has in its possession and where it is when it evolves. Glaceon is an Ice-type and can freeze all the fur on its body into protective quills. Leafeon is a Grass-type, and the air around it is always fresh and clean.

Glaceon shares the same species name with Vanillite, both being the "Fresh Snow" Pokémon.

Origin

Like many of the Eeveelutions, Glaceon shares characteristics of foxes, dogs and cats. It is more closely based on an Arctic fox, due to their habitat. However, its large ears are similar to a fennec fox.

Name origin

Glaceon is a combination of glace (French for ice) or glacier (a large, slow moving mass of ice on land) and eon (an immeasurably long period of time, possibly referring to how long evolution takes naturally). Eon is a suffix all Eeveeevolutions share and was Eevee's English prototype name.

Glacia may derive from glace (French for ice), glacier (a large, slow moving mass of ice on land), or grace (as in graceful).
